Strange bird found in Mexico

That mindset is evident in all walks of life...
See two posts up the person who's mood is "prayerful" saying that they are grasping at straws to prove birds are descendants of dinosaurs...
I mean, what more do you need? They have linked chickens and tyrannasaurs through genetics directly!

Anyhow yeah, skeptics can be the same way. This mindset also is evident on both sides of the religious issue.

Hmmm, truly interesting. But, ever heard about "the will-to-deny"? "... Their want to find confirmation of their denegation is so strong
they will cling to anything, despite all evidence to the contrary.”

See? Isn't it amazing? Just change 1 word and it becomes the truth.

P.S. Would love to continue the discussion, but I must leave ATS now, sorry.

Its definetly of the nighthawk family. They are a species of bird relatively common throughout north and south america. They eat only on the fly,
meaning they have to eat while flying around in midair. They fly around looking like large bats in the evening sky, sometimes around streetlights
catching moths and other large insects. They are also migratory and are some of the first birds to head south in the fall, mainly due to the decrease
in the insect population. I actually had one of these stuck in my place of employment flying around the rafters. We finally opened a skylight so it
could fly out. Cool bird, everyone I work with the it was a raptor of some kind. But they are simply a fast flying, LARGE mouthed, odd looking
bird...very much of this earth.

Fair enough. Maybe I've just missed your posts in which you actually share the same opinions with the believers of the topic at hand...
I don't mean any offense. Please don't take it that way.

Also, I agree with you that the vid should be linked to a bird forum. That would be the first place I would have taken it. I wouldn't have screamed
that it is a dragon, or whatever... But hey, if they had done that, then I wouldn't have had as many laughs as I've had over this thread.

I believe in the Bible. And i am sorry but I still think that bird looks reptilian. Also if you believe in the Bible it does talk about dinosaurs.
It is called Leviathan. Since they have also found a link between chickens and dinos, There was a three foot tall long legged dino that is related
to the chicken. That bird is possible.

Before reaching for the improbable, try examining the common, the probable. Before jumping into the realm of paranormal, take a stroll in the normal
and go visit Swope Park Zoo. It’s only about an hour away from you.
There, they have birds just like what you saw in the video.

They initially thought it was a with (hahahaha Oh, Mexico...) they reported it to the police and they sent someone from the city zoo to investigate...
they describe it as an "unknown bird", but they don't say what is it...

They just caught the bird out of the city and freed it in the woods...

Not much to say... for those who say it's fake, that's from a local news program, they don't fake it...
